Bake a two-layer cake using your favorite storebought or homemade recipe. One layer is placed in an 8" round pan, and the other layer in a 8" square pan.
Cover a large piece of cardboard with tinfoil, since this cake will be bigger than a normal-sized platter will hold.
Remove from oven and set aside; allow cakes to cool completeley.
Cut the round cake in two equal halves.
Place the square cake so it's diamond shaped: <>
Place each semi-circle against the top sides of the diamond so it resemble a heart.
